Our 4Gb/s Fibre Channel adapter series was devised to fulfill virtually any
storage connection need or environment, whether data mining, video and
media streaming, or high availability.  These adapters were engineered to
deliver unsurpassed performance, high port density,  easy installation and
can accommodate both PCI-X and PCI Express host platforms.  Each adapter
features full duplex capable FC ports, that automatically detect connection
speed, and can each independently operate at 1, 2 or 4Gb/s.  The ability
to operate at slower speeds ensures these adapters remain fully compatible
with legacy equipment.  All adapters also support new end-to-end error
detection (CRC) for improved data integrity when reading or writing disks.
The ANSI T10 committee developed and endorses this new protection standard.

MyStorage Management Software is a host software package designed to
simplify management of LSI Logic Fibre Channel adapters.  New users will
appreciate the simple, three--click installation and its “auto-everything” intelli-
gence.  Advanced users will find the utility provides all the features to fine-
tune the adapter operation for specific applications in even the most com-
plex SAN environments.  MyStorage software is prefigured with ease of use
in mind, whether you’re deploying a simple SAN for mid-range applications
or a more complex enterprise data center.

These Fibre Channel host adapters use LSI Logic's powerful FC949X controller,
which implements the Fusion-MPT (Message Passing Technology) architecture.
Each controller features multiple, embedded ARM
®
processors that deliver max-
imum host CPU offload. The built-in intelligence enables LSI Logic to publish a
single OS driver to operate any Fusion-MPT controller or adapter.  Fusion-MPT
enables LSI Logic to quickly offer new adapters with a rich compliment of OS
drivers, each with proven track records and years of successful run time.
